Suzie emailed me earlier about arriving in PV and visiting Walmart and Costco, both of which freaked her out (another good sign that she is eschewing civilization for Life at Sea). She and David met a guy from Tahoe named Jim, who gave them rides, lent them $ and let them use the internet at his condo. Here are chunks of what she sent me in the last two days. K.
Tonight [Saturday] we are sitting on the porch of Debo's Cafe, watching the playoff game between Florida and Oklahoma, visiting with some new friends, one from Tahoe and one from Texas. David couldn't resist Debo's world famous hamburger, and I had a wonderful fresh green salad with avo. Yum!!!! What a great atmosphere for emailing as well. Today we reworked the grounding for our radio antenna, working in little tiny spaces, which challenge our bodies bigtime. I went boat surfing again today with David and Bill from Lexie Lady, and David went surfing with Ed from Texas. Wow, such a busy life! We're thinking of going out to an island tomorrow just to see whales and do some snorkling. Life is good.

It's Sunday and we are sitting in Jim Casey's condo looking out onto Bahia de Banderas. We are able to see Sidewinder from here and with his gracious hospitality we are able to use the internet. The refrigeration on the boat quit yesterday. The raw-water pump was leaking; it got hot and the system, luckily, shut down. Unfortunately, looks like we need a new little pump and we will find out how readily available it is in PV tomorrow. Jim and his wife, Jamie, own a sailboat and keep it in Paradise Village Marina pretty close to PV. Luckily he has some contacts, so we should be able to find out what can be done tomorrow, plus, get a ride down there with him. He gave me two coolers, and we packed up all the frozen food and put it into his freezer. What a lifesaver!!!
It's a hazy day and I feel like a slug so I am off to go walking. We had dinner with Jim last night here and will do so tonight. Going out to dinner here is expensive and not that great, but there are some little taco stands that are open during the day. Bye for now, Suzi
